figure 9 - MAster Wiring diAgrAM
All Advantage Master con trol units will pro vide a 24 VAC pulsed output signal for supple men tal auxiliary heating. Two ter min als
are located on the junction board for this pur pose (
figure 9
). The signals can be wired to an intermediate relay to control a auxiliary
heating system.
The internal reheat relay is limited to 12 VA and should not be used to directly drive valves or radiant panels. It is intended to switch
power to the primary coil of an intermediate relay (see
figure 9
).
CAutiOn:
The number of Drones suported by the Master must be
reduced for each 3VA used to power the Aux Heat.
CAutiOn:
The number of diffusers (Master and Drone) supplied by the APM
must be reduced for each 3VA used to power the Aux Heat.
Three options of reheat algorithms are available:
1.
On/Off
- Acts more like a traditional thermostat and
cycles least of all three options. Control is over a larger
temperature band (±20F). Suitable for mech anical relay
interface (24VAC, 12VA max).
2.
PDM
(default, if not specified) (Pulse Delay Modulation)
- Reheat relay is on for a minimum of 2 minutes when
required. OFF Cycle is proportional to heating requirement.
Suitable for hydronic systems where entire system is
flushed with hot water during each heating charge to
ensure uniform heating. Electronic Solid State Relay
interface recommended, but not required.
3.
PWM
(Pulse Width Modulation) - Reheat relay is on for a
percentage of the duty cycle, pro por tion ate to calculated
heating load. Suitable for radiant panels and other electric
heaters. Electronic Solid State Relay interface absolutely
required - rapid pulse, 2 second cycle.
nOte:
Auxiliary heat option can be reconfigured in the field if
necessary using LCD thermostat (Service Menu).

nOte:
• C35 cables are white/grey 6 conductor with RJ12 plugs
• NETC35 cables are blue 8 conductor with RJ45 plugs
• To extend a C35 cable use cable coupler (CC)
• To extend a NETC35 cable use cable coupler (NETCC)
• Use either APM or 24 VAC transformer to power Advantage
Master unit. Advantage drone units get power from Advantage
Master and do not need another transformer
